Our Employment Issues services:
Contracts aren’t something you can afford to take risks with. They set the foundations of the employment relationship, and as legally binding documents, they need to be right. It’s no wonder they can feel like a headache for busy employers.
This is where Wright HR steps in. We handle the details, including notice periods, holidays, pay, start dates, and all the legal jargon that comes with them, so you can stay focused on running your business.
Instead of getting tied up in knots over staff contracts, let us take the pressure off and make sure everything is compliant, clear, and fit for purpose.
It’s easy for businesses to feel buried under paperwork. Policies and procedures are a perfect example of this. When done well, they make a huge difference: They give employees and managers clear guidance, set expectations and bring consistency and transparency to day-to-day operations.
Writing them properly takes time, attention and a solid understanding of employment law. If they’re not right, they can create more problems than they solve.
That’s where we come in. We draft and implement policies and procedures that genuinely fit your organisation, reflecting your culture, values and the way you work. It’s one less thing to worry about and provides you with complete peace of mind that everything is compliant, practical and clear.
Difficult conversations, whether with an employee or a trade union, can feel overwhelming. Knowing where to start, how to approach sensitive negotiations, or how to manage situations affecting productivity isn’t always straightforward. And when a union is involved, it can feel even more daunting.
These situations are stressful, but they don’t have to derail your business. We help you navigate challenging conversations with confidence, clarity, and a steady hand, keeping things fair, professional, and focused on constructive outcomes.
We work alongside you at every step, providing practical support so issues are handled properly and resolved in a way that supports both your people and your business.
The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE) can feel like one of the trickiest areas of employment law. Most businesses will encounter it at some point, whether merging, taking on new work, or losing a contract. The rules are complex, the risks are real, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
That’s where we step in. We guide you through TUPE with clarity and calm, making sure you understand what needs to happen, when, and why. Good planning is the foundation of any successful transfer, and that’s exactly where we start.
From preparation and due diligence to consultation and negotiation, we handle the details so you can stay focused on running your business. With Wright HR by your side, TUPE becomes a managed, structured process, not a minefield.
Even the best workplaces face disciplinary issues from time to time. What matters is how they’re handled. Clear, fair procedures protect both your business and your employees, and can make a huge difference on how confidently managers can deal with concerns.
We work alongside you to ensure your disciplinary process is robust, compliant, and genuinely workable in day-to-day practice, not just something that looks good on paper. When issues arise, we help you navigate them professionally and calmly, keeping everything fair, measured and focused on the right outcome.
Even the best workplaces face grievances from time to time. A clear, fair grievance procedure that follows the ACAS process protects both your business and your employees, and makes a huge difference to how confidently concerns are managed.
We make sure your grievance procedure is robust, compliant and genuinely workable in real life. When a grievance is raised, we guide you through it professionally and calmly keeping everything fair, measured and focused on reaching a constructive resolution.
Redundancy is one of the most difficult experiences an employee can go through, and it’s essential that employers handle it with sensitivity, clarity, and fairness. Getting it right not only supports the individual affected but also protects the morale and trust of the wider team.
The legislation around redundancy is complex, and employers need confidence that they are meeting legal obligations, following the correct process, and communicating transparently and respectfully.
We provide steady, experienced support throughout the process. From planning and consultation to documentation and communication, we ensure everything is compliant, fair, and handled with care, making one of the trickiest HR challenges a little easier to manage.
Our services have supported clients far and wide.They will tell you themselves.
